Not sure about DKs but I know the calculation and latency delay in triggering Blindside for assassination rogues can be longer than your global cooldown even at as low as 100 ping, which is the point at which you start munching blindside procs due to an inability to react and losing DPS. I really hope this is what they are referring to. I have not checked out the 5.1 PTR however.

I just wish Blizz gave us a toggle ability (like Hunter's Trap Launcher) that lets us choose whether or not Frost Strike (for 2H) and Obliterate (for DW) can consume a KM proc. It's such a huge QoL change that allows us to stop basing our abilities on watching a swing timer.

This wouldn't make the spec better, just easier. Part of the fun of playing DPS (at least for me) is trying to do stuff flawlessly every time. If it was just a priority system with nothing to it I'd probably reroll.

This. It would be nice if it would pop sooner so that you don't use it on FS with no possible wy to avoid it because of timing (outside of a swing timer)

There are many ways to make a spec more interesting. Having to watch a swing timer is simply bad design. And it's annoying.

Do tell. Many classes go beyond resource management on a higher skill level, and most involve watching some kind of addon timer tick down.

I'm not saying I like this type of play at all, or that I'd rather not watch my swing timer, but little annoying things like that are the staple in WoW now once you pass the basic rotation/priority and resource management school.

I hope they do it better now, its just annoying to see KM pop up after you hit the FS and see it get consumed right away. Involving some skill with proc reacting is okay I guess, but this way its just annoying.

Interesting thing btw, pretty much every single DK proc was on that list, as opposed to most other classes (I think).
